Rhodiola Rosea Extract 3% Rosavins 1% Salidroside by TRG

Rhodiola (also known as arctic root, golden root) is a member of the Crassulaceae family, which is native to the Arctic region of eastern Siberia. Rhodiola is widely distributed in polar and mountainous regions of Europe and Asia.It grows above elevations of 11,000 to 18,000 feet.Rhodiola was classified as an adaptor by Soviet scientists for its ability to increase the capacity for various chemical, biological and physical stresses.The term adaptogens was coined in 1947 by a Soviet scientist named Lazarev.He defined an "adaptogen" as a drug that allows an organism to neutralize an adverse physical, chemical or biological stress by generating nonspecific resistance .Rhodiola has been studied intensively in the Soviet Union and Scandinavia for more than 35 years.Similar to other plant adaptations studied by Soviet scientists, Rhodiola extract led to beneficial changes in a variety of physiological functions in a variety of areas.

Rhodiola has been used in traditional herbs in China, Siberia and the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine.In the former Soviet Union, it was used as a class of adaptors to reduce fatigue and increase the body's natural resistance to various stresses.It is said in Siberia that drinking rhodiola tea can make you live over 100 years.Rhodiola has also traditionally been used for sexual dysfunction in both men and women.In the Former Soviet Union, a popular preparation of this herb is a tincture called nastojka, made by mixing fresh rhodiola root with 40% alcohol and leaving it for a week.One teaspoon of nastojka after each meal is prescribed for patients with sexual dysfunction.In Siberia, rhodiola is often taken to prevent disease, especially during the cold, wet winters
